Bethesda Announces First Set of ‘Fallout 4’ DLC

With Fallout 4 having a few months under its belt on consoles and PC, it was only inevitable that DLC talks would start up sooner rather than later.

Today, Bethesda has announced the first three add-ons of Fallout 4 DLC that will be releasing over the next three months – Automatron, Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor.

With the increase in content coming to the Season Pass, Bethesda will be increasing the price from $29.99 to $49.99 on March 1, 2016. Those who still have not purchased the Season Pass will have till the end of February before the price hike takes effect.

Fans who can’t wait to get their hands on Fallout 4’s DLC can sign up on Bethesda’s website to partake in a beta to test them out ahead of time. Players accepted into the beta will receive a code to redeem the content. The beta is the full version (complete with achievements) and those participating will not have to purchase the add-on.

Bethesda has also promised the continuation of free updates to Fallout 4 on both PC and consoles, with plans to completely overhaul Survival Mode that changes how you play the whole game: food, sleep, diseases, danger and more. Along with the Survival Mode, Bethesda is hard at work on a Creation Kit, which will allow you to create and play mods absolutely free. More details will be forthcoming.

Details on the first three add-on Fallout 4 DLC can be found below.

Automatron

The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!

Wasteland Workshop

With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!

Far Harbor

A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.
